GRAPE GATHERERS AT EPERNAY, CHAMPAGNE DISTRICT
Once the pride of France and the delight of connoisseurs of rare vintages, the fields of Champagne
have
been
blasted
byhigh
explosive
shells,
sprayed with the steel of bursting shrapnel, and poisoned with the fumes of deadly gases. But French
thrift
will
soon
restore
them,
and
smiling
vineyards will again clothe these hills, concealing forever the scars of war.
